We all know that people like Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart) are killer musicians, but they also like to express their creativity through things you can see with your eyes. For proof, see New York City's P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center's "Music Is a Better Noise", an exhibit opening on October 29 and running through January 8.

Taking as its mission the "bringing together [of] musicians who make art and artists who make music, or for whom music is an integral part of their creative process," according to a press release, "Music Is a Better Noise" will occupy both the Drawing and Painting Galleries of the New York museum and will also include a video portion in the Vault.

Contributors to the exhibit include the aforementioned Moore, Gordon and Van Vliet, Devendra Banhart, Eye from the Boredoms, Barbara Ess from Y Pants/the Static, Christian Marclay, Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom, Bjorn Copeland from Black Dice, Rammellzee, Tim Kerr, and Suicide's Alan Vega, who "will unveil a suite of new sculptures from New York City's detritus and discarded junk." There is also a video by Ara Peterson that features a score from Sonic Boom (aka Peter Kember of Spacemen 3).

The opening day of the exhibit, October 29, will also include two live performances, one from Vega, who will perform during the day, and another from Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley, who will provide musical accompaniment to a screening of Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid (yes, the infamous KLF incident) as part of a different exhibit, "Defamation of Character".
